1. Executive Summary
This profile envisages the establishment of a plant for the production of 55 m 3`tons of
roof tiles from clay at full capacity.
The present countrywide demand is estimated at 7.6 million m 3 tons per annum. The
annual future countrywide demand is expected to grow to 412.59 m3 tons in the year in
the year 2018. The envisage plant will be able to cover a very small portion of the
demand
The Total Initial Investment including working capital is estimated at Birr 12.1 million of
which Birr 6.4 million is for plant machinery and equipments.

3. Market Study, Plant Capacity and Production
Program
Roofing tiles made of clay can be a good substitute to the corrugated metal sheet. The
tiles can be corrugated both for aesthetic and working convenience reasons. However,
clay tiles for roofing require different kind of truss which could be more expensive for
regular type of houses. As a result, it is assumed that only high multi-storied buildings
(more than two floors) will be using clay tiles for roofing.
The demand for roof tiles in the years 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 were estimated at
36.22, 54.33, 81.5, and 122.5 million m 3 tons respectively. Taking a conservative
estimate of 5% annual increase, the current demand will stand at 7.16 million m3 tons.
The following table shows the projected demand. The national countrywide demand for
clay tiles is so large that market demand will not be a tensing problem for a small project
like the one proposed.

Currently one tone of clay tiles cost about Birr 256,600. It is suggested that this new plant
sale its product at a price of Birr 153,960 per ton allowing attractive profit margin for the
whole and retail sellers. The exiting wholesales network can be used as distribution
channel.
The plant will have a capacity of producing 10,000,000 pcs or about 55 tons of metre
squares of roofing tiles on a single shift and 275 working days per annum considering
Sundays and public holiday and some possible stoppages.
The plant will operate at 75% and 85% capacity utilization in the first and second years
respectively. Full capacity will be reached on the third year. Gradual capacity build up is
required to allow the operators gain experience on working with the plant machinery and
equipment Co-ordination of sufficient supplies and inputs as well as penetration of the
market is also expect to take some time.
The major raw materials like clay and cement rocs are locally available. Resign and
pigments should be imported.
The basic raw material is clay. The clay has to be burned and hence wood or coal can be
used to fire the burns. Accordingly, the annual requirement will be as follows.

The blocks are allowed to dry for a few days and the dried stabs are moulded with a title
press. The moulded tiles are dried in a continuous drying kiln. After the furnace is
allowed to cool, the tiles will be unloaded for dispatch.
Alternative technological process:
The major processing stages for making roof tiles from clay are preparation of the clay
soil (i.e excavation of the soil from the ground, removing “foreign” materials, probably
grinding or breaking the soil into finer particles, moving the soil to molding section,
adding water to the soil and making it into a “dough”, putting the “dough” into moulds,
firing the “green” roof tiles in a specially designed “oven”, removing the fired tiles from
the “oven”, and finally staking the finished clay
The total cost of machinery and equipment is estimated at Birr 6.5 million

6.3 Civil Engineering Cost
The plant requires a total area of 1800 m 2 out of which 600 m2 is covered area. The total
land lease estimated at Birr 108,000 and the construction cost is estimated at Birr 3.1
million.
Induction training is envisaged at the preparation period. Other on-job trainings may also
be required after commencement. Birr 56,452 is included in the working capital for the
training purpose.

8.1 Underlying Assumption
The financial analysis of milk powder producing plant is based on the data provided in
the preceding chapters and the following assumptions.
B. Depreciation
Box 2: Depreciation
Building 5%
Machinery and equipment 10%
Office furniture 10%
Vehicles 20%
Pre-production (amortization) 20%

I. Profitability
The income statement (Annex 4) shows that the proposed project generates profit starting
from the first year of operation. Profits start at Birr 265,499 in first year and reach at Birr
2,505,332. Gross Profit to Sales starts at 4.18% and reach at 42.27% at eight year. The
total profit to be earned during the ten years of operation amounts to Birr 20,080,055.
These indicators prove that the project is profitable.
II. Breakeven Analysis
The breakeven analysis shows that the Total Revenue equals the Total Cost at 29.4% of
capacity which is achieved at the first year of operation.
9
V. Internal Rate of Return and Net Present Value
A 10% decrease in sales revenue will decrease the total revenue to Birr 13,983,240while a
10% increase in cots of inputs will decrease the total profit to Birr 17,398,013.73.
Based on the foregoing presentation and analysis, we can learn that the proposed project
possesses wide range of benefits that complement the financial feasibility obtained
earlier. In general the envisaged project promotes the socio-economic goals and
objectives stated in the strategic plan of the Amhara National Regional State. These
benefits are listed as follows
A. Profit Generation
The project is found to be financially viable and earns Birr 20,080,055.43 in 10 years.
B. Tax Revenue
In the project life under consideration, the government will collect about Birr 7.7 million
from corporate tax payment alone (i.e. excluding income tax, sales tax and VAT). Such
result create additional fund for the regional government that will be used in expanding
social and other basic services in the region
As there is no sufficient tiles domestic production, it will ease import burden. save hard
currency to be allocated on other vital and strategic sectors
10
The proposed project is expected to create employment opportunity to 16 persons. This
would be one of the commendable accomplishments of the project.
